Question 1
I remember one of the simulation exercises asked about what to do if your PM asks you to push code without testing it. And then what to do if your colleague does it and ends up breaking the production build. It's all in a direct message/email format so it feels like they are actually coming to you with the problem.
It was half coding, half interview for soft skills. The soft skills part asked about my past experiences where I displayed a certain amazon leadership principle. The coding part was 2 problems, around leet code easy or medium.
